摘要

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is the most potent endogenous member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family. XIAP exerts its anti-apoptotic effects by inhibiting both the death receptor pathway and mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis through various mechanisms such as directly binding to caspases, activating the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, and other signaling pathways. These processes are closely related to tumor development and progression, making XIAP a therapeutic target for various types of cancer. This article will first review the structural characteristics and biological functions of XIAP, followed by its effects on tumors and an overview of XIAP-targeted inhibitors.
